No, not exactly as you describe. Anyway my suspection is, that there could
be "invisible characters" within your cell that could make the evaluation
struggle and that you delete along with the ; and don't reenter when you
put the ; back in place. To check for invisible characters you can use
Ctrl-Shift-E (Alt-Shift-E on Mathematica 4 on Linux) within the problematic
cell to see the raw content of the cell expressions. But be warned, this is
sometimes difficult to read...
